What The Luck!? Chapter 18
Advertisement
"Well for someone who says they did not understand you are always so excited to see me use my aura reading power." Madam Weaver laughed a dry cackle to herself while giving Lin a knowing look. She knew that Lin was never really upfront with her love of the unknowing in fortune telling.
"So what do I need to do? It's part of the class right? Is there a grade?" Asher was uncertain with what the aura reading would be so he wanted to make sure he would not do anything wrong.
"Grade? In my class there are really no grades or assignments. Just by being here you will learn, fate would not give you this path if you were not meant to learn on it." Madam Weaver tried to sound mysterious as she said this, well her voice was always mysterious the way she spoke.
'Yes! Free easy class to boost my grade point average. Art will be so jealous.' Asher was having a mental celebration.
"You should write and start a journal of what fortunes you come up with or what you understand from this class. It's what I do and it helps me translate madams riddles." Lin held up a blue journal filled with pages upon pages of writing. Each page was dated one day and the notes underneath looked incredibly detailed.
"Just a journal? Well sure I'm fine with that, if you ever spring a pop quiz I will be prepared." Asher had caught on that madam Weaver had not said anything about quizzes.
"Bah, forget that now give me your hand and relax your spirit. I will take a look at what your aura is all about." Asher reached out his hand with his palm facing up.
"You know she was able to tell me when my wings would reach full growth after my shot. The doctors said it could be within a month or a week. But madam said my aura would concentrate in to a growth spurt after three days, I still have no idea how she knew but her power is the real deal." Lin was as transparent as possible, if there was anything that had made her join this class and stay here it was that moment.
Asher relaxed as madam Weaver took his hand and traced her old ringed fingers along the lines of his palms. She took his hand and placed it upon the crystal ball in the middle of the table. Asher swore he saw a flash of colors in the crystal ball just for a second. "Hmm, how interesting. A broken soul left in an accidental hell. Then rebuilt to fit a heaven instead." Madam Weaver opened her eyes, the pure white emptiness still seemed to pierce his being. " The wheels of fate will favor you and feed you a fortuitous path, but those around you shall feel their fortune wane. May the enemy fear you for their fortune shall turn to misfortune." Her eyes flashed with the same colors Asher had seen in the crystal ball before she tightly shut them.

Releasing Asher's hand from the crystal ball madam Weaver seemed out of breath like she had just climbed a few stairs. Lin was furiously writing down every word that she had just said in her journal. "Um madam Weaver, are you alright?" Asher was worried that this old woman had just reached a dangerous point in her life.
"Child you do not need to worry...I am always tired after using my powers. The auras in the world are always within my view but reading them takes a toll. However it is very valuable, I have put many on the path to prosperity and warned others that theirs held only pain." This ominous stance she had taken in the future put Asher a little at ease.
Lin tore out a paper for her journal, "I made two copies of what your aura reading was. Go over it and tell me if this means anything to you. If not we can research it as our class activity tomorrow. Oh yea, what is your super power? You didn't explain much." Lin wanted to try and figure out what the aura reading met before Asher did. Deciphering a puzzle like this was what she hungered for, it may be part of who she was or the huge desire for knowledge in her enhanced brain due to her mutation, but it was there none the less.
"My power is kinda tough, the doctors didn't have it on file so they said it was new. They didn't have any description of what it does but they told me it was lucky jinx. Kinda goes against each other right?" Asher was a little bashful with this, he didn't like talking about himself. Plus his power was contradictory. It was embarrassing.
"Lucky jinx? So fortuitous path here could mean that you will be lucky everywhere you go. And jinx could be this waning fortune. The part about enemies having their fortune turned to misfortune sounds like you have another ability that isn't luck after all. But that's not possible at all. This is a weird reading, all I can guess is that you're lucky and those around you are less lucky…" Lin tried her best to give the Basic review of the aura reading.
"Lin, I thought you had yet to open your eyes, but I see that you have partially opened one. How great that is to glimpse in to the world of aura." Lin was used to being confused about what madam Weaver said, but had she just guessed right?

"Yup, I am even more lost, but I think Lin is right. I have been told I am wrong but I could have two powers stuck together." Asher did not even attempt to hide it, the doctors were the ones at fault for letting him know accidentally. Not to mention they did all have their parents sign paperwork which let them get the evo shots from the hero corp researchers. This didn't specify which evo shot so this was inevitable.
"Wait really!? How would you even know? Do you have proof that you have two?" Lin needed more information, having this tempting wealth of knowledge to consume before her she could not let it run away.
"Well when I was getting my evo shot the doctors were acting funny…" Asher trailed off seeing the look on Lin's face. She was definitely doubting him since he didn't have any evidence.
"What do you mean funny?" Her eyes were still wide but her face was showing more doubt by the second.
"Well they were doing a lot of whispering and they talked about a new dose. Then when the doctor dropped his clipboard I read on it the results and that it was a double dose. I'm not really sure what it was all about but then when they saw my power they were really excited. The shot also burned a lot and knocked me out. My friend had a similar experience and she had a strange power too." Asher spilled out everything that had happened afraid that he was going to be ignored again and brushed off.
Lin was shocked, the doubt was still there and she was looking at Madam Weaver for any input. "Child, whatever has happened was the path you are meant to be on. Just accept it and find your happiness in it. There is no point in worrying over what caused it since it has already been done. Just take what you have now and learn." Madam Weaver smiled knowing that she had given all the answers he would need, but it would be up to his own interpretation.
"Well whatever happens if you actually have two powers that is a massive breakthrough, If not then you just have a unique power which is all the better. I will try and write out what I think the aura reading means tonight when I get home. I want you to take the copy I gave you and write down what you think it means. We can debate on it tomorrow". Lin packed her stuff in her bag as the bell began to ring.
'Did my classmate just give me home work…' Asher was floored, he had received homework from teachers but never from a classmate. "Madam-" He tried to ask Madam Weaver if he really had to but found that she had already sneaked away from the class without a sound. It was an eerie skill.
Asher left the room with his brain swimming around his head, first this old raisin like teacher had told his fortune which he didn't understand and now he had a classmate that acted more like a teacher than the teacher...What a final class of the day.
"Hey Asher, guess what I found out today!" Art was running through the hall with a small bag in his hands. He was wearing lab gloves.
"I will take a wild guess and say that it is related to lead?" Anyone could have guessed this.
